Debunking pseudo-neuroscience so you don't have to.

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

@tkvetnaya Ah. Thanks.

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

Well. I have questions.

[Dr. Sangita Reddy @drsangitareddy]

BrainBridge, a #Neuroscience & #BiomedicalEngineering startup, is developing a 'head transplant system' using advanced #robotics and #AI.

The goal? Transplanting a patient's head onto a healthy donor body while preserving consciousness & memories, offering hope for those with untreatable conditions.

Could this be the future for #longevity interventions?

BEAUTIFUL. 😢

In the pantheon of great film and TV neurobollocks entries, there are many competitors for the Crown of the Daft. You think of the pigs and their basal ganglia in Black Widow and the rather extreme approach to avoiding pheromones (hit your nose on a desk- not advised)

Strewth. 🙄

Neurowrap! 400 quid for a device that shines red lights on your head and also makes you look kinda stupid:

About 10 years ago there was a brief fashion for 'neuro-device' companies (all bullshit), then it all died down for a while. Seems like it's back!

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

This is absolute glorious, tragic nonsense.

‘Hardcore science’ or ‘just a sticker’ – do anti-anxiety patches actually work? https://t.co/MHmApXWAuy

🤦🏼‍♂️

Don't be left-brained.

Upd: a cool article from @neurobollocks : Apparently, in 6 years still nobody knows where the hell did the colored version come from

Some amazing @neurobollocks too.

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

Nope.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Are brain scans the next frontier in learning? A future where MRI scans of students’ brains, on a limited scale, could aid curriculum development for all students may be possible, say researchers https://t.co/W9Wgo6a9jp

@Clew_less Never heard of it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

My review of #BlackWidow:
Lots of fun, genuine heart, taskmaster is kickass, Florence Pugh is great, overall: 8/10.

HOWEVER... Neuroscience content: 1/10. Try harder.

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

It was me, but I was just kidding. 😉
Go on Dean! Get 'em!

[Dean Burnett (@drdeanburnett everywhere) @drdeanburnett]

Right, I'm sick of this

New goal: I'm going to find the neuroscientists who beg people play crude games and find out what their deal is

Assuming they exist. Which I doubt.

But if so, I'm going to make someone admit that's the case! Such BS about my field shouldn't be tolerated

[neurobollocks @neurobollocks]

I feel actually stupider after reading this, like it actually withered some synapses.

[Neuroskeptic 🇺🇦 @Neuro_Skeptic]

So this is just your usual snake-oil with a side of COVID "plandemic" nonsense, and really... the thalamus sends out T-cells? I think you mean the thymus. Perhaps you need some kind of brain tonic?

[Neuroskeptic 🇺🇦 @Neuro_Skeptic]

So this company is selling "OXYTOCIN". Except it's not oxytocin. In small print you see "precursor". But it's not a specific precursor, it's just four basic nutrients https://t.co/Iv0WNWIwTk You'd need to be high on the love hormone not to hate this

Lauren here is fighting the good fight. Heroic stuff. 👊

The facts revealed. Science and learning deserve better please read, share and help evolve the way we learn and design learning. #learning #edtech #onlinelearning #design #LinkedIn #neuroscience

Wow. 😱

[Matt Wall (@mattwall.bsky.social) @m_wall]

A colleague sent me this - she is seething, and rightly so. I am too. Arrant fucking nonsense, and extremely sexist.
